The most common type of prejudice is to judge and act against others because they are different.

The equally common type of prejudice, the contrast of the first type, is to judge and act for others because they are similar.

A less common and often overlooked type of prejudice is acting for others because they are different.

And the last and equally uncommon part is acting against others because they are similar.

~Extracted from The Matrix of Four

Institutions and Individuals

People have their institutions and individuals all mixed up. Let's clear it up by way of exploring a mostly obfuscated institutional situation, one of oligarchical abuse that is a degree or two of separation from most if not totally eliminated from even their periphery awareness to allow for comprehension of the difference between institutions and individuals. China is a nation. The nation of China took over the nation of Tibet. The individuals of Tibet have been taken advantage of by the institution of China and individuals working for that institution.

Lending the rights of individuals to institutions has led he world down a complicated path where the induvial is belittled at every crossroad. Individuals are having their rights removed and offered to institutions the world over. Citizen's United Supreme Court decision put forth the idea that corporations should be offered First Amendment rights originally penned for individuals in institutions. To offer the rights of individuals to machines and remove them from people who do not live up to requirements adopted by propagandized collectives is one of the greatest problems of postmodernism the world over.

People over Party

Most people are ardent about their beliefs. Most people are essentially leaves of the tree. They are identifying with their beliefs and not becoming their own individuated self, rooted via established and explored principles. Most are leaves on the tree identifying with whatever the institution they have become a leaf of rather than exploring and questioning righteously in individuation fashion.

Most people move with the masses and rather enjoy being told what to think. This is why monotheistic and monothematic religions persist and why left wing and right wing supporters exist. Most would rather adopt the ideas of an institutional tree and believe as a leaf upon it. Anytime you fine you are thinking in line with a form of government or religion it is arguable you are not thinking at all.

Stop recording and playing back what you have been told to think.
